This is a FAQ that is covered in the SASL documentation and is beaten to
death on the mailing lists.  You can't use DIGEST-MD5 or any of the other
shared secret mechanisms with saslauthd.

>From Cyrus SASL doc/sysadmin.html:

  Shared secrets mechanisms

   The Cyrus SASL library also supports some "shared secret"
   authentication methods: CRAM-MD5 and its successor DIGEST-MD5.
   ...
   Put another way, **you cannot use saslauthd with these methods**. If you
   do not wish to advertise these methods for that reason (i.e. you are
   only using saslauthd for password verification), then either remove
   the non-plaintext plugins (those other than login and plain) from the
   plugin directory, or use the mech_list option to disable them.

This means you want to set:

sasl_mech_list: PLAIN LOGIN

in your imapd.conf, or (more likely) remove the plugins.
